A Little More About What We Do

OSHA requires medical and pharmaceutical waste to be handled with care. Healthcare facilities need to make sure they’re disposing of the waste according to local guidelines. They also need to ensure employees are properly trained in what waste qualifies for special handling and how it should be stored prior to transportation.

At National Bio-CARE, we make sure healthcare facilities receive the assistance they need to train employees, handle hazardous waste properly, and store the waste until we can pick it up. We offer transportations in a number of cities, including Baton Rouge, to minimize complications for the disposal of medical and pharmaceutical waste.

Why Obtain Assistance with Disposal of Waste?

Shipping medical and pharmaceutical waste is often incredibly expensive due to the potential for contamination. Instead, healthcare facilities in areas like New Orleans will want to have their medical waste picked up by a transportation company.

We offer these services to make it easier for healthcare facilities to manage their medical waste disposal and to ensure everything is transported properly when it is ready to be disposed of. We also offer training to help healthcare facilities ensure medical waste is placed in the proper bins for storage and transport. We make sure healthcare facilities have the help they need to dispose of all of their medical and pharmaceutical waste easily and efficiently.

Assistance with Disposal of Medical Waste

Medical waste, as defined by OSHA, includes a variety of different medical supplies that could be contaminated with body fluids. This type of waste is usually placed in a red sharps container or a red liner in a container for storage and disposal. These all need to be handled with care and any waste that falls under OSHA guidelines for medical waste needs to be disposed of properly.

We can help facilities learn what qualifies as medical waste so they’re not spending too much money on medical waste disposal and ensure they’re placing everything necessary in the proper bins so it can be transported properly to the disposal location. This helps cut down on costs for the facilities and helps them ensure they’re compliant with local regulations.

Assistance with Disposal of Pharmaceutical Waste

Pharmaceutical waste includes medications that need to be discarded because they’re not needed or no longer able to be used. Any expired medications, partially used medications, pills, injectables, or antibiotics need to be placed in a black bucket and properly transported to a medical waste company for disposal. A failure to follow these guidelines can lead to a huge fine for the healthcare facility in areas like Houston.

OSHA Compliance Courses for Employees

Understanding OSHA regulations is vital. The healthcare facility and all employees need to ensure they receive the right training to understand what medical waste should be separated and which bin it should be placed in. At National Bio-CARE, we provide an interactive training platform so employees can receive the training they need at the appropriate intervals. This should be done within the first 10 days after an employee starts working for a facility as well as once per year while they work at the facility.

Randy Fontenot picked up our medical waste this week and was very nice and helpful. Our building is under construction and our box wasn't in the best shape, but he did what he needed to do to make sure our waste was ready in the proper way for disposal. He helped make our pick up a pleasant experience.
